THERE’S NO TRUTH to the rumor out this week that the Lakeland school board had settled on a location for the new high school. Board members are reported themselves to be in sharp disagreement as to where the new building should be. Certainly the board has discussed several locations, but has decided on nothing. Rumors will pick up momentum, certainly, when the board does finally recommend sites to the state school construction board and core samplings are taken at several places to determine the type subsoil. We picked this up this week, and thought our readers would be interested. Possible line-up for couniy sheriff next time around: Freddie Gilliam and Max Ganshorn. Gilliam, a Republican, is now running for re-election as middle district commissioner and Ganshorn, a Democrat, has been sheriff Sam’s first deputy since he became sheriff in 1958. It is also rumored that sheriff Sam will come out for middle district commissioner. The sheriff has proved the Democrats leading vote-getter, and most certainly-will be in line for some spot like this. . Also heard this week: A Milford woman’s name has been mentioned as possible postmistress at Milford after the first of the year. The plot thickens. In the Village a business is slated to change hands next week, and another Village busine.-s man is slated to get married November 7. Watch for these developments. Doesn’t George Gardner know that when you turn the little green knob on the radiator at the MailJounral office in Syracuse you get water? How about that? What with the fall elections coming on with all the attendant hullaboloo, speech making, lying, promising, predicting, accusing, denying and generally fouled up confusion, the average weekly newspaper editor needs a good all-around politician-

meeter. One who, equipped with the proper press credentials can meet and listen to a prospective office seeker, sift the little lies from the big lies and then in a regular column properly inform the readers as to the man’s real intentions. In order to conform with the average weekly newspaper’s political policies this columnist should be interested, not in getting anyone elected but in keeping out as many as possible. Since a certain prescribed number always get in, -the job is doomed to failure and any interested applicants should be emotionally conditioned to that. An excerpt from this column is prominently displayed on the bulletin board at ihe Kale Island Beacon. Little item, concerning Kale Island folks, created a little stir. All in good fun, girls. A Syracuse business woman was checking Milford taverns one night last week in vain attempt to catch hubby with “friend.” ’ _ Three Syracuse couples will be off the board of Lakeland Youth, Inc., following first of year. They are Mr. and Mrs. Janies Stucky, Mr. and Mrs. John Kroh and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Alfrey. Their term expires then, and board is seeking replacements. They did a bang-up job in doing the spade work on the youth center, and are to be congratulated. Look for a new’ front on a Syracuse downtown business house in the near future. The suit club at Tom Socks has about 50 more members than it did last year. Cred:t should go to J. B. Cox for work done on downtown Masonic hall in Syracuse. Always available, J. B. kept the ball rolling to.get the job done of remodeling the building and reface the second story with aluminum siding. Partitions were taken down upstairs, and two new gas furnaces were installed to heat the lodge room and the kitchen and dining area, also upstairs.
